11 Things No One Ever Looks Forward To On Flights

There aren't many things to look to on a flight other than the "prime time movies" and, of course, the actual destination which is usual a hotspot resort in some thriving place with much better weather than your own environment. It is entirely about the getaway, but getting there is usually the struggle. There is nothing better than getting out of the airport and starting a vacation, away from all your troubles, nonsensical drama, and even people. But, leading up to that sweet walk of victory, you must go through the hassle of the flight and all the things that everyone dreads.

1. The crying baby that you know you shouldn't but want to punch.

2. The obnoxious sleepers that figure that your shoulder is an armrest.

3. The big group traveling that assumes that the airplane is a coffee shop. NEWSFLASH: People want to sleep.

4. The uncomfortable chairs that we all know have shrunk through the years.

5. The children that watch TV shows as if they have never experienced such amusement in their life and feel the need to shake anything and everything in their sight.

6. Having so many food options on a flight but realizing that they are all unappetizing.

7. Sitting behind people that recline their chairs to the maximum as if they really plan on being more comfortable.

8. The college teams that show up and figure it's just another plane, another practice.

9. The passengers that have taken maybe one flight in their life and believe that turbulence is equivalent to death.

10. Flying internationally and knowing that the stinky, warmed up food will always be yours. Let's face it: you aren't getting that warm, homemade cookie from first class and probably never will.

11. Being put on the fire lane which automatically means no sleep because you can't recline your chair.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
